A final shoutout to @wepm.bsky.social for making our #ACH2025 virtual world a space of community, solidarity, & play. The final dance party was EVERYTHING, especially after such a heavy day. Thanks @apjanco.bsky.social for being our fantastic DJ 👏. That's a wrap! @ach.bsky.social

*sigh* It's too soon, but on the day of his retirement from public service, I think that it's important to recognize the contributions of Brett Bobley to the work of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the field. #ThanksBrett for your leadership, your good cheer & your home-baked goods.

This #ACH2025 morning (Pacific Time): "What the NEH ODH Has Inspired".

@jimccasey1.bsky.social has already made me cry. @altnehgov.altgov.info was essential for me as a professional, for so many of us. My career, the friendships I hold so dear, my work -- I can never express enough gratitude.

In between stints working at NEH, I got the chance to co-lead an institute on DH+Caribbean Studies. It led me to new friends, colleagues, and opportunities to learn from a truly community-driven field. nehcaribbean.domains.uflib.ufl.edu

My career is deeply indebted to the @neh-odh.bsky.social . They supported the kind of interdisciplinary projects that colleagues weren’t ready to support or credit. They sent the message that technology and the humanities mattered. They pushed research to be more innovative. For pennies!

Now up #16A: Special Session: "What the NEH ODH Has Inspired". Over 50 people here to testify to the incredible work of @neh-odh.bsky.social . Grateful to the incredible civil workers who were committed to the public good and cutting-edge research. Their impact far outweighed their small budget.

The #ACH2025 WorkAdventure panels = visible traces of community. I love "seeing" folks attending the panels -- thank you @wepm.bsky.social for this joyful gathering space! 10B session on "geriatric" DH is an exploration of access, cybersecurity, sustainability of older DH projects! @ach.bsky.social

Screenshot of the virtual world built in WorkAdventure. Two side-by-side 2d rooms with many avatars attending the panels can be seen. In the far upper left corner is a blue phonebooth that references Doctor Who.
